I came here to say that!! (But the recipe also works well with Christmas Limas. It is a Christmas Eve tradition in our house.)

Done!! 🫘🫘🫘🫘

I have an hour long commute. Sometimes (on especially hard days) I just blast this on repeat for the whole drive. I will fight anyone who says it’s not the best pop song ever.

Under his eye.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

“We are a Minneapolis 2nd grade Brownie Troop of 12 including trans and neurodiverse youth and 75% BIPOC kids. We want to go to summer camp and try horseback riding! During the current ICE occupation we need your support more than ever...”

And that’s how I ordered 4 boxes of thin mints.

FDR's 1941 State of the Union seems relevant today. I doubt he ever imagined that his warnings about the dangers of allowing Hitler to destroy democracy would ever need to be applied to dictators within our own borders. voicesofdemocracy.umd.edu/fdr-the-four...

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."

Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

A dish of California Coronas beans that have been braised in olive oil, smoked paprika, and Kalamata olives.

Rancho Gordo beans are the star of our holiday table. The Smoky Confit’d Beans and Olives recipe (with California Coronas this time) is always sublime. Thank you to everyone at Rancho Gordo and all the farmers who make the magic happen. #ranchogordo

Disabled people were one of the first groups targeted by the Nazis.

They coined the term “useless eaters”.

They tested the gas chambers on us.

They knew most people wouldn’t fight to save our lives.

That’s why the President using the R slur is so dangerous.

We’re not expendable

Kavanaugh will burn in hell

Drat. I wish I could edit typos! Family *gave* it two thumbs up!

Bowl of beans in broth

Bean label for Rancho Gordo Black Calypso beans

Close up of dried beans. They are mostly white with black patches.

I followed the recipe to a T, with the exception of using brown mustard seeds instead of black because that’s all I could get. Family all have it two thumbs up! Simple and delicious. Some greens and root veggies wouldn’t have been a bad addition. #ranchogordo food52.com/recipes/1047...

Both sides of my sign. Ready to go in Nor Cal!

“I love America more than any other country in the world, and exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.”

~James Baldwin

this is truly invaluable reporting

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

This you, Trump?

Not much makes me cry anymore because it is all so awful, but this is gutting. I know she lived a long, full life, and also, a bright light is now gone from the world. 💔

You can tell he’s a big strong macho guy by how he’s hiding his face in a mask and running away after pushing someone down

Several anti-ICE protestors on the Ohio-Kentucky border.

This is how the police dealt with them.

Literally beat the hell out of them.

This is Trump's police state America, coming to a protest near you.

Trump: It’s WOKE to discuss “how bad slavery was.”

Lincoln: “Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword…”

Take it back!

Life comes at you fast
